Re: ELIZABETH ALLEN, early 1700s

I have this information that might help you.It is taken from a Waller Family Website:http://members.tripod.com/GWaller/va/stafford.htmThis website will soon be defunct so I recommend you visit it now.It also has a link to Robert Allen who is trying to sort these Allens out.My own descent from George Waller II and Anne Winston Carr is through their son John who married Mary Polly Cooper,d/o Thomas COOPER and Sarah ANTHONY.Their daughter Mary Polly Waller married Crispin Robertson SHELTON in Pittsylvania Co VA.I hope this helps.Here is the excerpt following.

Many Waller researchers have been confused about the "Stafford Wallers". Three consecutive generations named William Waller married Allen women. They are listed below.

(Generation, Stafford-1) Original immigrant ancestor to many of us, William Waller came to Virginia in 1650 on a ship captained by Moore Fauntelroy. Stafford County was formed in 1664. Five years later, in 1669, William and a partner bought 800 acres on the southwest side of Hope Creek, a tributary of Aquia Creek, which flows into the Potomac. William's partner in this land purchase was Gerrard Masters. There is an interesting story regarding the relationship between William Waller and Gerrard Masters. John Dickey's version of the story can be found in the notes on the family page of William. You should request a GEDCOM. A portion of the 800 acres became the site of the Springhill Plantation. About 1668-70 William married Mary Allen, daughter of George Allen.

(Generation, Stafford-2) William Waller (c1670-1703, only child of William and Mary died at the age of thirty-three. He married Elizabeth Allen, daughter of George Allen and Jane Hackney.

(Generation, Stafford-3) William, oldest son of William and Elizabeth, was born about 1700 in Stafford County. He married Sarah Allen, daughter of William Allen. (Descendants of William and Sarah)Their son John (1732-1784) had three sons, Edward (1755-1794), John (1758-1823), and Dr. Thomas (1774-1823). The thread on Edward and John can be picked up in Bourbon County Kentucky. Dr. Thomas initially went to Bourbon County, Kentucky and subsequently relocated in Portsmouth, Ohio.

(Generation, Stafford-3,cont.) Nothing is known about Elizabeth, daughter of William and Elizabeth. Far too many of these wonderful Waller women have been lost to history. Perhaps in this "information" age some of this work can be done.

(Generation, Stafford-3 cont.) George Waller (1703-1768) was born after his father, William (1670-1703) had died. George's descendants are probably the best known of all the Waller branches. He married his first cousin Elizabeth Allen. (of course, who else would he marry??) Their son George (1734-1814) was to begin both the Henry County, Virginia, and the Roane County, Tennessee branches of the Waller family.
